Doubt

Gossip. Intolerance. Doubt.

Very well composed and phenomenally acted drama. Meryl Streep, Amy Adams, and Philip Seymour Hoffman, are all equally great. The plot (Roman Catholisism and child molestation by Catholic priests during the 60's) is also quite intriguing and very well written by writer/director John Patrick Shanley. The only character that I though was mediocre was Viola Davis as the boy’s mother. I’m not quite sure why she earned the Oscar nomination.
* * * * (four out of five) -- Definitely worth watching!! One of the better character dramas of 2008.

Enjoyed Doubt? Viira recommends: Basic Instinct, The Hours, and anything with Philip Seymour Hoffman.
